 DETAILED DESCRIPTION
In the following description, for purposes of explanation rather than limitation, specific details, such as the particular architecture, structure, techniques, etc., are set forth for illustration. However, it will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art that other embodiments that depart from these specific details would still be understood to be within the scope of the present invention. Moreover, for the purpose of clarity, detailed descriptions of well-known devices, circuits, and methods are omitted so as not to obscure the description of the present invention. It is to be understood that the features of the respective exemplary embodiments described herein may be combined with each other, unless specifically noted otherwise.
The first embodiment of the present disclosure relates to a synchronization control method within wireless network. Specific process is illustrated in FIG. 1.
Step 101: controlling a terminal to broadcast a control command, for example, broadcast a control command directed at multiple smart home devices. In the present embodiment, total processing time field (APT field) is added in the control command in advance for recording total control command processing time of respective smart home devices on the transmission path. When the control terminal broadcasts the control command, the APT field has an initial value 0. The length of the total processing time field is 1 byte.
In other words, in step 101, the control command broadcasted for controlling the terminal not only needs to a carry count-down time duration of command execution time and an identifier of a target smart home device (i.e., the identifier of the smart home device to execute the control command, e.g., a group id), but also needs to carry total processing time field (APT field).
Step 102: determining, by the smart home device, whether the received control command is receiver for the first time. When a terminal is controlled to start broadcasting the control command, respective smart home devices on the control command transmission path will constantly forward the control command within their own coverage, therefore certain smart device may receive the same control command for more than once. If the control command is received for the first time, then execute Step 103; if not, then the control command has been processed on the present smart home device, no need for repetition, thus the processing process of the control command can be ended directly.
Step 103: acquiring by the smart home device processing time for the present device to process the control command. To be more specific, assuming the time for receiving the control command is t0, the time for forwarding the control command is t1, then the difference between t0 and t1 is used as the processing time.
Step 104: updating by the smart home device total processing time field in the control command. Because the processing time the smart home device used for processing the control command has been acquired in Step 103, in Step 104, the processing time is updated to APT field in the control command. In other words, historical processing time is updated to the sum of historical processing time and the processing time for the present smart home device to process the control command; wherein, historical processing time is a value within the total processing time field in the control command.
For example, for a smart home device D1 which receives the control command firstly, because the control command has not been processed before, the historical processing time it extracted from APT field is 0; assuming the processing time for the present device acquired by D1 in Step 103 is T1, then the updated historical processing time should be (0+T1), the smart home device D1 updates APT field in the control command to T1 eventually.
Step 105: continuing, by the smart home device which receives the control command, to broadcast the control command within its own wireless broadcast coverage area, and carrying in the broadcasted control command the processing time for the present smart home device to process the control command.
In particular, after updating APT field in the control command, smart home device D1 continues to broadcast the control command within its own wireless broadcast coverage area, and carries updated APT field in the broadcasted control command.
Combining with the example mentioned above, for a second smart home device D2 which receives the control command secondly on the transmission path (i.e., the control command is transmitted to D2 through D1), D2 should extract information in APT field as historical processing time. Because the control command has been processed once before, the extracted historical processing time should be the processing time of the smart home device D1, i.e., T1. Assuming the processing time for the present device D2 acquired by D2 is T2, then the historical processing time updated by D2 should be (T1+T2), the smart home device D2 should update total processing time field in the control command to (T1+T2) eventually. Similarly, for a N-th smart home device DN which receives the control command at the N-th place on the transmission path, because the control command has been processed (N−1) times before, the extracted historical processing time should be the sum of processing time of the smart home devices D1 to DN−1, (T1+T2+ . . . +TN−1). Assuming the processing time for the present device DN acquired by DN is TN, then the historical processing time updated by DN should be (T1+T2+ . . . +TN), the smart home device DN should update APT field in the control command to (T1+T2+ . . . +TN) eventually.
Step 106: determining, by the smart home device receiving the control command, whether the present smart home device needs to execute the control command. Because the control command is directed at specific target smart home device for instructing it to operate, the control command carries an identifier for the target smart home device. In Step 106, the smart home devices receiving the control command on the control command transmission path should extract the identifier of the target smart home device from the control command and compare the identifier with its own identifier. When the result is a match, the present smart home device needs to execute the control command, continues to Step 107; if the result is not a match, the present smart home device needs not to execute the control command, and the processing process of the control command can be ended directly.
Step 107: determining command execution time by respective smart home device to execute control command according to a count-down time duration of the received control command, as well as the total processing time of respective smart home devices which the control command passes on the transmission path.
Combining with the example mentioned above, assuming the count-down time duration of the control command received by a smart home device is T, the sum of the processing time of N smart home devices that the control command passes on transmission path is (T1+T2+ . . . +TN), then updated count-down time duration is (T−(T1+T2+ . . . +TN)), i.e., the count-down time duration for command execution time for D1 is (T−T1), and the count-down time duration for command execution time for D2 (T−(T1+T2)).
Step 108: synchronically executing the control command by respective smart home devices to execute control command at the end of the count-down according to the determined count-down time duration for the present smart home device, so as to achieve the implementation effect of synchronically executing control command.
In the present embodiment, by considering the processing time of respective smart home devices which the control command passes on its transmission path, respective smart home devices to execute control command can acquire accurate command execution time, so as to achieve synchronization execution of the control command.
The second embodiment of the present disclosure relates to a synchronization control method within wireless network. The second embodiment is further improved on the basis of first embodiment. The major improvement is: in the second embodiment of the present disclosure, the control command also carries a forwarding value representing how many time the control command has been forwarded. Respective smart home devices to execute control command acquire total forwarding time for control command forwarding based on the forwarding value in the received control command, subtract the total forwarding time from the updated count-down time duration, acquire a modified count-down time duration as the count-down time duration of command execution time for the present smart home device.
In particular, as shown in FIG. 2. Step 201 to Step 204 is the same as Step 101 to Step 104, and it won't be repeated.
Step 205: updating by the smart home device receiving the forwarding value representing how many times the control command has been forwarded in the control command. In specific implementation, HOP field or TTL field in the control command can be used to record forwarding times of the control command.
In particular, for example, where HOP field is used to record forwarding times of the control command, when a terminal is controlled to start broadcasting a control command; an initial value of the forwarding value representing forwarding times of the control command in the control command is 0. The smart home device D1, which receives the control command firstly on the transmission path, should add 1 to the initial value and update the forwarding value to 1; the second smart home device D2, which receives the control command secondly on the transmission path, receives the forwarding value 1, D2 should add 1 and update the forwarding value to 2; the rest may be inferred, the N-th smart home device DN, which receives the control command on the transmission path at the N-th place, receives the forwarding value (N−1), DN should add 1 and update the forwarding value to N.
Step 206: continuing, by the smart home device receiving the control command, to broadcast the control command within its own wireless broadcast coverage area, and carrying in the broadcasted control command the processing time for the present smart home device to process the control command as well as the forwarding value representing how many times the control command has been forwarded.
In particular, after updating APT field and HOP field (or TTL field) in the control command, the smart home device D1 continues to broadcast the control command within its own wireless broadcast coverage area.
Step 207: determining, by the smart home device receiving the control command whether the present smart home device needs to execute the control command. Step 207 is the same as Step 106, and it won't be repeated.
Step 208: determining, by respective smart home devices to execute the control command, total forwarding time for forwarding the control command.
The estimation method of total forwarding time is mainly to consider time required for receiving and sending the control command. In particular, assuming the package length of the control command is len, transmission rate is R, then time required to forward the control command once is temp+len/R; if the control command has been forwarded for N times, then total forwarding time is N*temp. In an implementation, a fixed time duration may be added for calibration, so as to consider other expenses in the wireless receiving and sending process.
Step 209: determining command execution time, by respective smart home devices to execute the control command, according to the count-down time duration in the received control command, the total processing time of respective smart home devices which the control command passes on the transmission path, as well as total forwarding time for forwarding the control command.
Combining with the example mentioned above, assuming the count-down time duration in the control command received by a smart home device is T, the sum of processing time of N smart home devices that the control command passes on transmission path is (T1+T2+ . . . +TN), the total forwarding time for the N-th smart home device receiving the control command is N*temp, then the modified count-down time duration is (T−(T1+T2+ . . . +TN)−N*temp), which is the count-down time duration for the present smart device to execute command.
Step 210: synchronically executing the control command, by respective smart home devices to execute the control command, at the end of the count-down according to the determined count-down time duration for the present smart home device, so as to achieve the implementation effect of synchronically executing the control command.
In the present embodiment, both the processing time and total forwarding time of respective smart home devices which the control command passes on the transmission path are taken into consideration, thus respective smart home devices to execute the control command can obtain more accurate command execution time, achieving synchronization execution of the control command and improving user experience.
